e: check out this loving console game in 1987 what a good console

Victory Run. I had that game and it was loving miserable, but there weren't many good driving games so it had to do. There were a couple of stages where you had to drive through the desert and keep your car at second gear the entire time. I have to wonder who thought that was a good or enjoyable idea.
I even beat it eventually, because that's what you did in my day when your parents would only buy you one or two games a year.

Because you're having a hard time comprehending it: big publishers use access (or the lack of it) to pressure gaming outlets into doing what they want.

In other words:

Hog Inspector posted:

Publishers don't give a poo poo about the quality of reporting, and in fact they prefer dumb terrible journalists because they're more likely to blindly accept and repost anything they're told officially. This is purely about maintaining their control over prerelease information through selective access.




hubris.height posted:

what is it about games journalism that turns reasonable points into blathering garbage

is there a containment thread for this poo poo yet
Because gaming is full of children and large adult children who care more about videogames than anything else in the world and give more care and devotion to giant gaming corporations that manufacture consoles than most people give to their gods and religions.

The containment thread is the Xbox One thread: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3622381

This is secondhand info, but it seemed like the game was good but the maps were somewhat limited in that by the end of the beta there were already established "best ways" to defend and invade each map that you either adhered to or got chewed out for trying anything different. It seems like some people were worried about whether or not the game would have legs because of this.

One of the main worries was not even the map quality, but the absolutely abhorrent net code.

Sounds like Payday 2 or really any other multiplayer game of that type. Who cares if this style of play is completely boring and monotonous as gently caress, it's 0.5% more efficient at grinding unlocks!

Even if they fix the beta problems it still has the Battlefront "why is this $60?" problem.
